MIRAGE-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor derived from the Semi-Powered Infiltration armor.[2][1]
GEN1 overview
Design details
The MIRAGE armor takes the form of SPI suits designed for the SPARTAN-III program, upgraded to MJOLNIR standards intended to be employed by any Spartan generation. Once the standard helmet of SPI armor, MIRAGE-class Mjolnir makes use of an upgraded MIRAGE-class helmet. The gauntlets are designed as a refinement of the RIFT-class force amplification gauntlets. Overall, the suit is light and resilient, though considered not as robust as the MJOLNIR program's efforts. However, it is able to be manufactured at a fraction of the price while meeting the same basic performance requirements.[1]
MIRAGE IIC overview
Design details
In-keeping with the theme of cost-effectiveness, the Mirage IIC builds on the foundation of the GEN1 Mirage and Semi-Powered Infiltration armor program. Mirage IIC helmets albeit only certain ones compromise the full range of GEN3 capabilities, it significantly reduces its cost, complexity, and the augmentation requirements of the operator.[3] All this results in a multi-role powered assault armor that meets baseline GEN3 Mjolnir standards.[4] Mirage IIC's reactor is built into the techsuit, being covered by the chestpiece.[5]
